Project description:The pathogen Staphylococcus aureus can invade and survive within human cells. There, the intracellular bacterium induces host cell death, which may facilitate spread of infection and tissue destruction. We here conducted a shRNA screen and infected the library of knock-down cells with S. aureus. We identified calcium signaling pathways to play a role in S. aureus invasion and cytotoxicity. For latter, the intracellular bacteria induce a cytoplasmic and mitochondrial Ca2+-overload, which results in host cell death.

Project description:Intracellular Calcium links Milk Stasis to Lysosome Dependent Cell Death during Early Mammary Gland Involution
| PRJNA785609 | ENA
Project description:Involution of the mammary gland after lactation is a dramatic example of coordinated cell death. Weaning results in the distension of the alveolar structures by the accumulation of milk, which, in turn, activates STAT3 and initiates a caspase-independent but lysosome-dependent cell death (LDCD) pathway. Although the importance of STAT3 and LDCD in early mammary involution is well established, it has not been entirely clear how milk stasis activates STAT3. In this report, we demonstrate that protein levels of the PMCA2 calcium pump are significantly downregulated within 2-4 hours of experimental milk stasis. Reductions in PMCA2 expression correlate with an increase in cytoplasmic calcium in vivo as measured by multiphoton intravital imaging of GcAMP6f fluorescence. These events occur concomitant with the appearance of nuclear pSTAT3 expression and prior to significant activation of LIF, IL6 and TGFb3 production or LDCD. Interestingly, we observed the activation of TFEB led by activation of TGFb signaling and deactivation of mTOR signaling in the involution of mammary gland. Finally, we demonstrate that increased intracellular calcium activates STAT3 by degrading SOCS3 mediated by TGFb signaling. In summary, these data suggest that intracellular calcium serves as an important biochemical signal linking milk stasis to STAT3 activation, increased lysosome biogenesis, and lysosome-mediated cell death.

Project description:Ventricular arrhythmogenesis is a key cause of sudden cardiac death following myocardial infarction (MI). Accumulating data show that ischemia, sympathetic activation, and inflammation contribute to arrhythmogenesis. However, the role and mechanisms of abnormal mechanical stress in ventricular arrhythmia following MI remain undefined. We aimed to examine the impact of increased mechanical stress and identify the role of the key sensor Piezo1 in ventricular arrhythmogenesis in MI. Concomitant with increased ventricular pressure, Piezo1, as a newly recognized mechano-sensitive cation channel, was the most up-regulated mechanosensor in the myocardium of patients with advanced heart failure. Piezo1 was mainly located at the intercalated discs and T-tubules of cardiomyocytes, which are responsible for intracellular calcium homeostasis and intercellular communication. Cardiomyocyte-conditional Piezo1 knockout mice (Piezo1Cko) exhibited preserved cardiac function after MI. Piezo1Cko mice also displayed a dramatically decreased mortality in response to the programmed electrical stimulation after MI with a markedly reduced incidence of ventricular tachycardia. In contrast, activation of Piezo1 in mouse myocardium increased the electrical instability as indicated by prolonged QT interval and sagging ST segment. Mechanistically, Piezo1 impaired intracellular calcium cycling dynamics by mediating the intracellular Ca2+overload and increasing the activation of Ca2+-modulated signaling, CaMKII, and calpain, which led to the enhancement of phosphorylation of RyR2 and further increment of Ca2+leaking, finally provoking cardiac arrhythmias. Furthermore, in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), Piezo1 activation remarkably triggered cellular arrhythmogenic remodeling by significantly shortening the duration of the action potential, inducing early afterdepolarization, and enhancing triggered activity.This study uncovered a proarrhythmic role of Piezo1 during cardiac remodeling, which is achieved by regulating Ca2+handling, implying a promising therapeutic target in sudden cardiac death and heart failure.

Project description:About 20-30% of patients with metastatic non-medullary thyroid cancer (TC) have persistent or recurrent disease resulting from tumor dedifferentiation. Tumor redifferentiation to restore sensitivity to radioactive iodine therapy is considered a promising strategy to overcome RAI resistance. Autophagy has emerged as an important mechanism in cancer dedifferentiation. Here, we demonstrate the therapeutic potential of autophagy activation for redifferentiation in thyroid cancer cell lines. Five, all digitalis-like compounds, restored hNIS expression and iodine uptake in TC cell lines. Upregulation of hNIS was mediated by intracellular Ca2+ and cFOS activation. Cell proliferation was inhibited by downregulating Akt1 and by induction of autophagy and p21-dependent cell cycle arrest. All together, digitalis-like compounds could represent a promising treatment modality for patients with dedifferentiated TC.

Project description:Altered Ca2+ handling has both immediate physiological effects and long-term genomic effects on vascular smooth muscle function. Previously we have shown that elevation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) or store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCCs) results in phosphorylation of the Ca2+/cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) in cerebral arteries. Here we demonstrate that stimulation of these different Ca2+ influx pathways results in transcriptional activation of a distinct, yet overlapping set of genes, and that the induction of selected CRE-regulated genes is prevented by the addition of corresponding Ca2+ channel blockers. Using oligonucleotide array analysis, changes in mRNA levels were quantified following membrane depolarization with K+ or depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores with thapsigargin in human cerebral vascular smooth muscle cells. Array results for differentially regulated genes containing a CRE were confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR, and corresponding changes in protein expression were shown by Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence. Membrane depolarization induced a transient increase in c-fos mRNA and a sustained increase in early growth response-1 (Egr-1) mRNA and protein that were inhibited by application of the VDCC blocker, nimodipine, and the SOCC inhibitor, 2-aminoethoxydiphenylborate (2-APB). Thapsigargin induced a sustained increase in c-fos mRNA and MAP kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) mRNA and protein, and these effects were decreased by 2-APB but not by nimodipine. Our findings thus indicate that Ca2+ entry through VDCCs and SOCCs can differentially regulate CRE-containing genes in vascular smooth muscle and imply that signals involved in growth modulation are both temporally and spatially regulated by Ca2+.

Project description:Inactivating mutations in SMARCA4 and concurrent epigenetic silencing of SMARCA2 characterize subsets of ovarian and lung cancers. Concomitant loss of these key subunits of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes in both cancers is associated with chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. Here, we discover that SMARCA4/2 loss inhibits chemotherapy-induced apoptosis through disrupting intracellular organelle calcium ion (Ca2+) release in these cancers. By restricting chromatin accessibility to ITPR3, encoding Ca2+ channel IP3R3, SMARCA4/2 deficiency causes reduced IP3R3 expression leading to impaired Ca2+ transfer from the endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria required for apoptosis induction. Reactivation of SMARCA2 by a histone deacetylase inhibitor rescues IP3R3 expression and enhances cisplatin response in SMARCA4/2-deficient cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings elucidate the contribution of SMARCA4/2 to Ca2+-dependent apoptosis induction, which may be exploited to enhance chemotherapy response in SMARCA4/2-deficient cancers.

Project description:Understanding the mechanism of action of novel antimalarial drugs is a key goal in eradicating malaria. Previously we have explored a possible alternative cell death mechanism that is elicited by micromolar amounts of the antimalarial chloroquine (CQ) against Plasmodium falciparum. The phenotypes assessed were calcium redistribution, mitochondrial depolarization and parasite digestive vacuole membrane permeabilization. Identifying the source or initiator of calcium release in the parasite will reveal a potential new therapeutic target. From timepoint studies we revealed the simultaneous loss of mitochondrial integrity along with intracellular calcium dysregulation, followed by downstream membrane rupture. Using a series of calcium efflux inhibitors and antioxidants, mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+mt) was implicated in initiating this cascade of parasite cell death phenotypes. Having established the mechanism with a high dose concentration of CQ, we expanded the search for similar phenotypic outcomes in a high-content screening of the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) Pathogen Box. Three “hit” compounds were subjected to further characterization assays and the top performing compound (MMV085071) was identified. Ten analogues based on the top hit were assessed with dose-response assays and one lead analogue (MMV1545561) was selected as the top candidate based on its efficacy. Both parent and lead compound were investigated for their ability to redistribute Ca2+mt. While the effects were statistically significant, the lack of complete reversal of compound-induced calcium dysregulation and mitochondrial collapse by inhibitors suggested that Ca2+mt’s role is more limited as compared to that of chloroquine. Furthermore, it is likely that the novel screening compounds are directed at multiple parasite targets and due to their highly efficacious nature, further follow-up work to ascertain their mechanism of action is warranted.
